Some of you may recall my last post on
image resizing using Microsoft Paint. I thought it was an appropriate post both because a) you wouldn't imagine the number of requests we get from clients regarding instruction on how to resize their website images and b) Microsoft Paint comes preinstalled on all Windows-based machines. While the tutorial does accomplish the task of walking a user through the steps of resizing their images, it fails to accomodate Apple users and involves some approximating. Here's where Pixlr comes in.
Pixlr is an entirely web-based photo-editing application made freely available on
the Pixlr website. With it, you can import photos from your hard drive, edit them in real time, and then save the new .jpg as if you had Adobe Photoshop or the likes installed on your local system.
Check out the video below, then bookmark
the new tutorial on resizing images using Pixlr. If you're responsible for managing your company's online content, knowing how to accomplish this basic task will help you immensely!
